"I don't want to try to control the trauma, okay, I want to kill it." Raven Banner has revealed a very early promo trailer for an indie sci-fi film titled Raptus, the latest from filmmaker Bennet De Brabandere. This project doesn't have a release set because it's still being shopped by Raven Banner at the European Film Market this month, and this promo trailer will hopefully give it some extra attention. In the wake of a savage attack, Sarah Mathis orders a new form of android therapy called Raptus, and reveals a path to recovery with twisted surprises. It's about a "therapy" android robot that gets pushed too far in her recovery and their relationship starts to spiral out of control. This footage gives a few major teases as to where she'll go with it (him?). Raptus stars Ksenia Solo as Sarah, and Nolan Gerard Funk as the android, with Zion Forrest Lee,...

Panaji (Goa), March 1 (Ians) Star women paddler Manika Batra led the Indian performance with three wins across formats as main draw engagements in the World Table Tennis (Wtt) Star Contender Goa, got underway here at the Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium.

Manika, presently at world rank (wr) 34, first won her women’s singles Round of 64 match and then successively partnered Archana Kamath and Sathiyan Gnanasekaran, to reach the quarterfinals of the women’s and mixed doubles respectively, in her first appearance at a home Wtt tournament.

Sutirtha Mukherjee was the other Indian to win all her matches on the day, emerging triumphant in the women’s singles and doubles respectively.

In the morning session, Sharath and Sathiyan Gnanasekaran lost their...

Being a step-parent is no easy task; how much can you, or should you, 'parent' your partner's children? Do you try to be their friend or remain an outsider? And what if yoiu don't like them? And what if they don't like you - to the point of homicide? Well, then, things can get a bit tricky, as one man is about to discover, in this very dark horror-comedy from Canadian filmmaker Bennet De Brabandere, which might make you think twice about embracing little ones. Sean Chase (Zion Forrest Lee) was one of the top hockey enforcers, known for his violent behaviour on the ice. After a severe injury, he thinks his lfie his over, until he meets Laura (Marianthi Evans) in a Hollywood romance...

I mean, with a title like Ankle Biters, I was intrigued before I even read the synopsis, but once I did… I was all-in. Written and directed by Bennet De Brabandere (and based on a story by Brabandere and Zion Forrest Lee), Ankle Biters tells the tale of some innocent little kiddos, all sunshine, roses and candy corn… until they’re not and they become calculated and evil little toe-rags.

It is, in a nutshell, a tale of a group of children who set out to completely nuke their mothers life with her new partner (and the kids potential future step-father), not wanting to see their dad replaced by this hockey-loving jock fellow. The children feel like their mother is in danger (due to some violent sexual choices...

Sean, a pro hockey enforcer, has fallen in love with Laura, a widowed mother of four young daughters. When Laura's children mistake an act of lovemaking as an attack, they plot to protect their mother at all costs and with horrific results.   Children are such a blessing. Dark Star Pictures will release  Ankle Biters, a new Canadian horror-comedy from director Bennet De Brabandere, On Demand and DVD on November 16th. Dark Star has passed along the trailer this morning. Check it out, along with a collection of stills, down below.    Ankle Biters stars Zion Forrest Lee, Marianthi Evans, and the Reid clan: Lily Gail, Violet, Rosalee, and Dahlia....
